my irns laid 4 eggs starting late of the night of the 9th of febuary.

i am expecting the first egg to hatch in 3-4 days and i was wondering if it is to late to candle them would it harm them or their development to handle/candle them this late in incubation?

i think you can candle at any time. But I'd use one of those pen torches specicfically designed for that. It makes it so much easier to see.

thanks

in the past i have used a big flashlite and tape a piece of cardboard over it with a small hole in it and put the egg on the hole.
